Ephesians 3:14 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

For this cause. See on v. 1. The thought that was interrupted in the first verse is here resumed, following an extended parenthesis.

Bow my knees. For kneeling as a posture in prayer see Luke 22:41; Acts 7:60; 20:36; 21:5; Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:10.

Of our Lord Jesus Christ Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the omission of this phrase.
